Placemaking

Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to place identity and the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well being. Placemaking is both a process and a philosophy.​​The Placemaking Team was appointed by SLPIC and consists of the following members:

• Ken Bassett​
• Noah Sawyer​
• Craig Nicolson​
• Sharon Antia​
• Carol Kendrick​
• Geoff McGean​​The Placemaking Team is staffed by the Planning and Land Use Staff​​The Placemaking Team is currently working on the green space at Lincoln Station and Lincoln Woods and applied for a $50,000 crowd funding grant to Mass Development. If funded the Team will need to crowd fund $50,000 and if successful Mass Development will match it for a total of $100,000 for placemaking efforts. ​​​To view material related to this project please click here.
